Hi,

I want to buy a nice polarizer for my FX1 and I really don't know which one to choose. I looked around here and read many very subjective opinions about multi-coated, circular, etc. I've read somewhere that if I use a wide angle over it or if I zoom in all the way the camera might film the filters' interior...something I really don't want to happen. I've seen some Hoyas and Tiffens but there's so many variations I don't really know what to do. The main reason I want it is to obtain that nice contrast/saturated look. Any advice is welcome.

cheers,

Rafa
 
Hahaha. Good one, Angrius! I just received the achromat and now I'll be able to test it properly. I'm going to work on it this weekend. I'll send you my direction for you to send me the polarizer later ;-)
 
Raf, I' use a 72mm Tiffen (circular) and am very happy with it. I use this and an ND .6 a lot when using the Brevis on a sunny day. Used properly, there's no question it helps a lot with image quality when the angles are right. I see I'm not the only one looking for the fruits of your lens :-)
 
You bet, old bud ;-) Thanks for the tip. I've ordered a multicoated thin hoya that is supposed to be very very good.
